The female gymnast's career is a race against time and naturem and the same appears to be true of world-class female figure skaters. In both sports, the contemporary ideal is a girl with a boy's body: sans breasts and hips. To achieve this "ideal," the athletes overtrain at a time when their skeletal development is supposed to be the greatest, suffering injuries to vertebrae, arms and legs at the same time that they are constantly being ordered to lose weight. The result: anorexia and bulimia.

The facts are known and when you see these girls compete you wonder what the effects are going to be 10+ years from now.
I played soccer for 18 years, my knees and ankles are not like others that did not play sports. I just could not imagine their bodies with the abuse they take.

It is possible that the girls are enjoying it.

Sorry guy, all the names u mentioned are not treated like the top 5 cricketers in India are treated(when they go to cities in India). It is absolute mayhem.
Do u see any riots and people running after Brett Favre if he shows up in a upscale mall in US. I don't think so. People look at them with admiration and may ask for photo and ask couple of questions. Thats all happens here.
But in India the top cricketers are given treatment that is not even accorded to Indian PM or president. That is a reality.

Sure, you say that now. But let's see how you feel about it when your teenage daughter wants to start dating.
